One, Two, Three, Four
Intro
   G   D   Am   Em   X3 
   G   D   Am

Verse
 G        D          Am   Em
And then the past recedes
G          D        Am   Em
And I won't be involved
G          D       Am   Em
The effort to be free
G            D          Am
Seems pointless from above

Verse
G           D          Am   Em
You're looking down at me
G        D        Am   Em
I'd rather stay below
G                D          Am   Em
Than have you staring up at me
G        D           Am     B
Is nowhere I want to go

Chorus
C              Am           Em               D
Ay, This business of how long we try to stay alive
C           Am                Em                
Why to be here you first got to die
        D   
So I gave it a try
      C                G               Am
And what do you know time was so long ago

Verse
G          D        Am   Em
And things come back you see
G          D        Am   Em
To where they don't belong
G          D        Am   Em
And every drop of sea 
G          D      Am     B
Is the whole ocean

Verse
C           Am         
I lied to the greatest thieves
       Em             D
About anything and everything
C        Am         Em           
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
     D
I'm out of reach
C                G    
I can't play it safe
              Am
But I might just in case

Solo

C                    G    
I'm disguised as a reaching hand    
        Am
I'm a working man
C                        G
I don't understand why clock out
       Am
Comes so slow every time
C                  G             Am
That's one line I stay right behind
C                  G             Am   B
That's one line I stay right behind.

 G   D   Am   Em   X3 
 G   D   Am   B    G

Biography

John Anthony Frusciante (born in New York on March 5th 1970) though probably best known for his time as guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a respected, acclaimed and prolific solo artist in his own right. Joining the Chili Peppers in 1988 after the death of Hillel Slovak, the band’s original guitarist, Frusciante was featured on both Mother’s Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. However, John’s rise was short lived. On May 7th, 1992, John quit the band just before the Chili Peppers were due on stage.
